[Daily Nation (Kenya)] Sudan's President Omar al-BashirHead of the National Congress Party. He came to power in 1989 when he, as a brigadier in the Sudanese army, led a group of officers in a bloodless military coup that ousted the government of Prime Minister Sadiq al-Mahdi and eventually appointed himself president-for-life. He has fallen out with his Islamic mentor, Hasan al-Turabi, tried to impose shariah on the Christian and animist south, resulting in its secessesion, and attempted to Arabize Darfur by unleashing the barbaric Janjaweed on it. Sudan's potential prosperity has been pissed away in warfare that has left as many as 400,000 people dead and 2.5 million displaced. Omar has been indicted for genocide by the International Criminal Court but nothing is expected to come of it. danced on Saturday with his defence minister at a rally for paramilitary troops two days after the International Criminal Court... where Milosevich died of old age before being convicted ... issued a warrant for the latter's arrest.

"We will start a major campaign to face the enemies of God and the state," Defence Minister Abdelrahim Mohammed Hussein told more than 1,000 members of the People's Defence Force (PDF), formed during the country's 22-year civil war.

The rally, designed to showcase the PDF's fighting readiness, was the first of its kind since the 2005 peace deal that ended the civil war and led to South Sudan's independence last July after an overwhelming vote to separate.

It came as analysts and diplomats warn that escalating tensions between the two countries threaten to erupt into direct conflict.

Bashir and Hussein, both in military uniform, danced together to a PDF rallying song after the president announced an expansion of the PDF forces.

"We will call these troops a 'deterrence force'," Bashir said at a Khartoum football stadium.

He said he was ordering all state governors to open training camps for fresh PDF recruits.

Each state is to form one brigade, with an additional seven coming from the capital Khartoum, the president said after rifle-toting male and female members of the militia staged a march-past.

The new recruits will "beat anyone who tries to disturb the security of Sudan," Bashir vowed.

On Thursday The Hague-based International Criminal Court said it had issued an arrest warrant for Hussein, covering crimes against the civilian population in Darfur, in Sudan's western region.

"We want to say to them: we will defend the dignity of Sudan" and its Islamist regime, Bashir responded.

Hussein, 60, is the sixth person sought by the ICC or before the court for crimes committed in Darfur, where rebel groups drawn from the region's non-Arab tribes rose up against the Arab-dominated Khartoum government in 2003.

CAIRO (Reuters) - Egyptian lawmakers held a heated debate on Saturday as they began selecting 100 people tasked with writing a new constitution. The document will define the balance of power between the army-backed executive and parliament, which wants to curb broad presidential powers and may become the focus of confrontations over the role of Islam in Egyptian laws and society.

Oh, there won't be any confrontation over the 'role of Islam'. That one has been settled, you watch and see...

Under an interim constitution, parliament is responsible for picking the 100-strong assembly that will write the new constitution.

"The most important step to building democratic institutions is what we are about to do here today," Saad al-Katatni, the speaker of the lower house of parliament, said at the start of a joint session between the two houses.

"The path of our revolution was not paved with flowers but with sacrifices," he said after asking lawmakers to read a verse of the Quran in honor of the victims of the uprising.

As members of parliament in the Arab world's most populous state and long-time U.S. ally outlined their visions for the make-up of the body, early signs of disagreement were evident.

The Muslim Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party (FJP), which controls most seats in both houses of parliament combined, wants 40 members of the constituent assembly to be from parliament and the remaining 60 to include legal and constitutional experts and members of unions.

Almost all of whom will be compliant to the wishes of the FJP...

That vision is at odds with that of liberal groups in parliament, who stress that women, youth and Christians get a fair share of the positions in the assembly.

Both the liberals and the Brotherhood's Salafi rivals, which calls for a strict application of Islamic law, worry the FJP will have more say in the drafting of the new constitution.

To counter that risk, the Salafi al-Nour Party wants more lawmakers in the assembly than advocated by the FJP.

"We see that those in a better position to be in the assembly should be the elected members of parliament. They should have a priority over others," said Nour's Moustafa Khalifa.

The FJP insists it wants an assembly that can represent all parties, and a constitution that can safeguard Egypt's freedoms.

"We want an assembly that represents all of Egypt's people and we will cooperate with everyone from inside parliament and outside to do so," said Hussein Ibrahim, an FJP lawmaker.

Some lawmakers kicking off the process on Saturday stressed that expertise, rather than party affiliation, should be the crucial factor when selecting members of the assembly.

"Picking the constituent assembly should be governed by expertise and not numbers, it should be about caring for substance and not appearances," Essam Sultan, a lawmaker with the moderate Islamist Wasat party, told parliament.

[Daily Nation (Kenya)] Libyan Islamists and independents have formed a new political party and elected a representative of the Moslem Brüderbund on Saturday as its leader after a three-day conference, an AFP news hound said.

Mohammed Sawan, an ex-political prisoner under the regime of dead dictator Muammar Ghaddafi who outlawed the formation of political parties as an act of treason, was elected leader of the Justice and Construction party by 51 per cent of those present.

"I have real mixed feelings because I was imprisoned under Muammar Ghaddafi for my attempts to create a political party and I am grateful to the people here who have placed their trust in me," Sawan told AFP.

The meeting in the capital brought together hundreds of people keen to take part in the launch of the new party. Votes were taken on a wide range of issues, including the party's name, by a show of hands.

The party's programme is still under discussion, but Moslem Brothers, Islamists and independents came together for the conference with the shared aim of forming a "national party with an Islamic frame of reference."

"We aim for diversity and a state of law where differences in opinion are respected," Sawan said.

[Yemen Post] A Yemeni human rights ...which are usually open to widely divergent definitions... organization, HOOD, revealed on Saturday that hundreds of Yemenis are held in underground jails, demanded the new president Abdu Rabo Mansour Hadi to swiftly release them.

The group said that a specialized court documented their cases as it visited the military last week after it was ordered by the Attorney-General.

Himaia had presented a notification to the Attorney-General about the seizure of 22 soldiers inside the camp due to their support to the anti-Saleh revolution.

"When the court visited the camp on last Tuesday, it found out 192 soldiers who were illegally held inside the camp" the group made reference.

It expressed its deep concerns at the violations committed against soldiers and officers, pointing out that the command of the camp maneuvers to n ot respond to the directions of the Attorney General who ordered them.

Yemen's Human Rights Minister Horia Mashhoor had said that an independent commission will be formed with the aim of investigating violations committed against human rights since the outbreak of the anti-regime protests.

He later joined the Pak Peoples Party and was chief security officer to Bhutto. Malik was tossed from his FIA job in 1998 after documenting the breath-taking corruption of the Sharif family. By unhappy coincidence Nawaz Sharif became PM at just that moment and Malik moved to London one step ahead of the button men. to immediately submit a report regarding this abhorrent act of terrorism.

Held Kashmire versus Christians
Reported in Mashriq in Indian-held Kashmire the Moslems were becoming angry at the Christian missionaries who they thought were converting Moslems to the Christian faith. The mufti of the Shariat Court in Srinagar actually asked four missionaries to quit Kashmire because they were converting people against the law.

Naturally.

Reported in Jang a sessions judge in Jhelum handed down a death sentence to a British-born Pak Muhammad Ishaq from Talagang in Punjab because he was pretending to be a prophet and asking people to prostrate themselves before him. The offence is non-bailable.

Two Moslems unfairly punished in Norway

For a definition of unfairly that means very fairly indeed.

President Obama plans to caution Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu next week against attacking Irans nuclear facilities in the coming months, urging patience while international economic sanctions take full effect.

Yeah Benji, just wait until January 2013 and we're all good...

Obamas meeting with Netanyahu on Monday begins a critical week in his effort to crush Israel contain Irans nuclear ambitions and preserve the trust of the United States closest Middle East ally. Israeli leaders have made clear they think time is running out to stop Iran from achieving the ability to build a nuclear weapon.

But U.S. officials are not convinced,

Because they don't want to be...

and many within the administration fear that a pre­emptive Israeli attack could set off a regional war. This disagreement between the United States and Israel will color the meeting between two leaders often at odds over how best to navigate the changing Middle East.

The White House talks are likely to focus on the effectiveness of sanctions and the dangers of an Israeli attack, administration officials say. Obama will seek to avoid discussing the details of how one might unfold out of concern that Israel might interpret such planning as a veiled endorsement of military action.

Were trying to make the decision to attack as hard as possible for Israel, said an administration official.

Pretty much says it all, doesn't it.

Administration officials say Obama will attempt to reassure Israel of U.S. resolve while also urging patience and signaling to Iran that the two allies agree on the importance of stopping it from getting a nuclear weapon.

In an interview published Friday in the Atlantic magazine, Obama said that the Israeli government recognizes that, as president of the United States, I dont bluff.

Dubya and Reagan never had to say that. Both men were strong and did exactly what they said they would do, and everyone knew it. Champ on the other hand is weak and is in over his head, so he has to babble about how he 'doesn't bluff'.

But he suggested that any Israeli strike on Iran before international oil and gas sanctions take effect this summer would undermine the tenuous unity the United States and its allies have built to oppose Irans nuclear ambitions. Privately, White House officials say the coalition would explode with the first Israeli airstrike.

At a time when there is not a lot of sympathy for Iran and its only real ally [Syria] is on the ropes, do we want a distraction in which suddenly Iran can portray itself as the victim? Obama said in the interview.

President Barack Obama says the United States will not hesitate to attack Iran with military force to prevent it from acquiring a nuclear weapon, but he cautioned that "too much loose talk of war" recently has only helped Tehran and driven up the price of oil.

Speaking to a powerful pro-Israel lobbying group, Obama appealed to Israel for more time to let sanctions further isolate Iran. He sought to halt a drumbeat to war with Iran and hold off a unilateral Israeli strike against Iran's nuclear facilities.

"For the sake of Israel's security, America's security and the peace and security of the world, now is not the time for bluster," Obama told thousands at the annual American-Israel Public Affairs Committee's policy conference on Sunday. "Now is the time to let our increased pressure sink in, and to sustain the broad international coalition that we have built."

[Iran Press TV] A senior Turkish politician has warned that any US war against Iran will bring an end to the United States, Press TV reports.

The leader of Turkey's Democrat Party, Namik Kemal Zeybek, told Press TV in an interview on Saturday that those who threaten to launch a war against Iran should remember Islamic Theocratic Republic's eight-year defense against Iraq from 1980 to 1988.

"The Islamic Theocratic Republic of Iran, even at its earliest days after the Islamic Revolution, when it did not have an organized military, managed to defend its territory against a fully equipped and well-trained army of Iraq that was supported by the US and the West," Zeybek stated.

"Any attack on Iran will bring an end to the United States. It will lead to the disintegration of the US because its states are not that much united as it may seem. Some of its southern states are annoyed by such [warmongering] policies and want to get separated from the US, and one day this will happen," he concluded.

On Friday, March 2, Turkey's Deputy Prime Minister Ali Babacan said Ankara is opposed to any form of military intervention aimed at putting an end to Iran's nuclear energy program.

"The problem over Iran's nuclear [energy] program has to be resolved through diplomacy.... Any method other than diplomacy would have grave consequences for the region and even for the world," he said during the Aspen Bosporus Dialogue Conference in Istanbul.

First of all, nothing will happen until BHO is gonzo. Second, the ayatoilet's dirty-bomb capacity alone would automatically escalate any conflict. Third, Americans are sick to death of taking financial hits for the subsidy of third world pig pens. Fourth, even if some White House clown chose the conventional war route, Iran would be left without a gasoline supply after a mere 3 days of war. Fifth, at least a third of Iran's brainwashed people resent both the enormous wealth confiscated by the ayatoilets, and the strike=breaking activities of the Basij. Sixth, opposition is so great that US Intelligence has too numerous to count walk-ins who openly work against the arab wannabe tyrants. Seventh, there are professionals within the military, who have no use for reckless and suicidal jihadism. Eighth, the nuke genii has remained on the shelf too long; this generation needs to learn just how cost effective those devices are. Ninth, legalized male pedophilia has more than doubled the terrorist enity's population since they went arab, and a cull is in order.

We need to treat enemy life with the same value as do we treat mosquitos and cockroaches. And F___ Johnny Turk. A tenth of that entity is formed by Occupied Europe; a further third is Occupied-Armenia.

Hague's comments are baseless and reflect Britannia's policy of meddling in Iran's internal affairs, Mehmanparast said on Saturday.

He accused Hague of trying to downplay the widespread participation of Iranians in the free and fair parliamentary election held on March 2.

The Iranian Foreign Ministry front man also advised the British authorities to respect the choice made by the Medes and the Persians and to make efforts to avoid repeating their previous mistakes.

On Friday, the British foreign secretary condemned the way the election was held in Iran and claimed that it was undemocratic and the vote was not free and fair.

More than 64 percent of eligible voters cast ballots in Iran's parliamentary election, with 75 percent of the candidates from the principlist camp winning seats in the legislature, according to unconfirmed results.

Over 48 million Iranian citizens were eligible to vote in the election, 3.9 million of them for the first time.

Voter turnout in Tehran was 48 percent.

Shortly after the polls closed on Friday evening, Election Headquarters Director Seyyed Sowlat Mortazavi said final results would be announced in 48 to 72 hours.
